On October 18, good news came from Sinochem Tianchen Green Energy New Materials Technology R&D (Zibo) Co., Ltd. located in Jinshan Town, Linzi District. The nylon 12 pilot plant of Tianchen Innovation Platform was successfully delivered. The project will be launched in February 2022, with a planned annual investment of 100 million yuan.
“This project has a designed production capacity of 5,000 tons per year and aims to develop the nylon 12 monomer ‘laurolactam synthesis process’. It has entered the commissioning stage at the end of June this year.” Chai Chao, deputy general manager of Tianchen Green Energy, said that CCCC means mid-term Deliver work. At present, the project has completed all construction contents on the process operation route, and the process routes are all connected. By the end of this year, Tianchen Green Energy will strive to complete all test content and obtain the scientific and technological achievements appraisal certificate.
Nylon 12, or PA12, can be used in automobiles, electronics, machinery and other fields. It is the most widely used long carbon chain nylon. In addition to the general properties of general nylon, it has low water absorption, high dimensional stability, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, good toughness, and easy processing.
With the trend of automobile lightweighting, nylon 12 can be used in automobile parts including fuel lines. It can replace metal parts and is an excellent automobile lightweight material.
Due to its high production technical barriers, the core technology of nylon 12, “laurolactam synthesis process”, has long been restricted by others. At present, domestic nylon 12 materials are imported from Germany, France, Switzerland and other countries.
Sinochem Tianchen Innovation Platform is mainly engaged in technology research and development and pilot production in key national industries and fields such as nylon new materials.
The nylon 12 pilot project is not only a major project in Shandong Province, but also a major scientific and technological research project determined by the country to break through the “stuck neck”. The nylon 12 pilot plant of Sinochem Tianchen Innovation Platform is another key technology research project carried out by Tianchen Company’s R&D department to play the “core” role in technology research and development. Following the successful transformation of nylon 6 and nylon 66 technology, it is also the company’s key technological breakthrough to date. It is the largest investment so far and the first pilot project among the innovation platforms to be implemented.
